Patterns of squares problem solving

Today in math we split into our problem solving groups we got 30 sticks and had to make 9 squares out of them. we had to make as many patterns with them as we can I made in the time we had I made 9 them in different orders and different numbers of them being connected. each person in the group made these and these are mine that I done with a buddy because there weren't enough sticks. started with making 9 squares and the problem solving part was how many sticks where there and the answer is 30.

I found challenging to move the sticks without them moving
I found easy making patterns with the sticks.
These are some photos of my patterns ( I couldn't insert any more so there is only 1 )
